More money for beer! Details on The Hold Steady’s free Seattle concert

America’s bar band, The Hold Steady, will be performing a free concert at the Crocodile on Oct. 22.

The concert is part of the Southern Comfort Presents: underCOVER tour (The Hold Steady playing a show sponsored by an alcohol company? Who would’ve guessed?) and as part of the show Craig Finn and co. will be playing a special set of cover songs by artists that have influenced The Hold Steady. The songs have yet to be announced but I would expect to see some Springsteen, Replacements and perhaps even some Jets to Brazil or Jawbreaker. If they played at least one Lifter Puller song I think I would spontaneously combust with joy.

To get access to the show you have to text Southern Comfort and enter your date of birth to verify that you are at least 21 years old. Here are the full details of how to get into the show, as taken from a press release.continue reading
